eric.rktek Posted March 17, 2006 Share Posted March 17, 2006 Another quick question: Is there a fast and easy way to make a specific viewport print in black and white without having to use the document preferences to turn the whole drawing to black & white? I've run into this on a couple different sheets I was going to print. If not, I'll put a post up in the wish list board. It would make a great choice as one of the render pull down options in the OIP for viewports. Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 OSX offers some nifty CorlSync options including B&W , Sepia, etc. Com-P > Copies&pages>ColorSych Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 COLOR SYNCH offers profiles via the Print Dialogue. COMMAND-P > Copies & Pages > Color Synch >Quartz Filter > Black & White You can save various print set-ups ... a hidden feature ... Quote Link to comment
Mark McCay-Moran Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 EJ, I'm not following. I thought ColorSync had to do with monitor profiling. How do you access the "Copies&Pages" and how does this help with B&W plots? TIA, mmm Quote Link to comment
Mark McCay-Moran Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Thanks for the info! Finally got a chance to try this out and to my dismay no grayed layers or hatches plot! Bummer, its tedious to go andset DOC PREFS to B&W each time I plot (and sometimes I forget). cheers, mmm Quote Link to comment
Conrad Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 There is a plug-in available at www.vectordepot.com that will toggle b/w to colour that can be assigned a shortcut in your workspace Quote Link to comment
ErichR Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 And the Right-Click preferences toggle doesn't work? Quote Link to comment
eric.rktek Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 My question is in reference to the ability to make a specific viewport print in Black and White. By this I mean that there would be a couple viewports on a sheet that I would still want to plot normal/in color. I am imaging the ability to change to black and white per viewport as more of a 'render mode' type of thing, and not a global override for an entire file/sheet. Thanks for the other suggestions though. Quote Link to comment
Tom K Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Eric are you using version 12. VW12 has the ability to set the class to something different for each viewport. ie you could set all the classes in one viewport to black, and in another all to red. You access it from the obj info pallette>classes when you select the viewport. This could be handy because you could have a viewport with all the lines set to black and still maintain your grey fills, and another viewport on the same drawing could be in colour.
